I wouldn't be too concerned about parfocal claims. I've always had to re-adjust focus between colour channels - moreso when the object is down low or if the seeing is not "excellent".

I always take an extra 5-10 seconds between switching channels to ensure the focus is as sharp as i can get it in the limited timeframe.
